The \u201cHere I Come Again\u201d singer\u2019s name was scratched off of a sidewalk marker dedicated to Parton in 1984, according to TMZ. The alleged vandal is also believed to have stolen flowers from that memorial. Photos posted on social media show the seemingly minor repairs being made on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Parton, 80, died from cancer on Aug. 25 during a brief hospitalization in Nashville, Tenn.<\/p>\n

She was mourned by stars including actor Jane Fonda, White Stripes frontman Jack White, country singer Kacey Musgraves and Parton\u2019s goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.<\/p>\n

Her popularity stretched overseas to London, where the Band of the Coldstream Guards came together with the Irish Guards\u2019 Number 12 Company to play her 1980 classic \u201c9 to 5\u201d during the storied Changing of the Guard ceremony.<\/p>\n

Parton\u2019s unparalleled career included an honorary Academy Award, 11 Grammy Awards and a 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.<\/p>\n

Upon being honored with a star on the Walk of Fame, she was recognized for her \u201cdistinctive soprano, sometimes bawdy humor, flamboyant dress sense and voluptuous figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans paid homage to Parton by visiting her star over the past week.<\/p>\n

She will also be remembered for promoting literacy, vaccine awareness and humanitarianism.<\/p>\n
